U+1B116 "𛄖" Hentaigana Letter Wo-1 Unicode Character

U+1B116 "𛄖" Hentaigana Letter Wo-1 is a historical Japanese syllabary glyph representing the mora "wo," which is part of the hentaigana set, an array of variant cursive forms of hiragana that were widely used before the modern standardization of the Japanese writing system in the early 20th century. This specific character is one of multiple historical ways to write the syllable "wo" and belongs to the Kana Extended-A block, which was added to Unicode to preserve and encode these obsolete but culturally significant characters for scholarly and typographic purposes. Unlike the modern hiragana "を" (used primarily as a particle), "𛄖" offers a glimpse into the orthographic diversity of premodern Japanese manuscripts and calligraphy.
